title: Mitochondrial genome of the Emberiza rustica (Emberizidae: Emberiza).
abstract: Emberiza rustica, least concern species (IUCN), is a passerine bird in the bunting family with wide geographical range. The complete mitochondrial genome of E. rustica (16,798 bp in length) had been analyzed for building the database. Similar to the typical mtDNA of vertebrates, it contained 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes) and a non-coding region (D-loop). All the protein-coding genes in E. rustica were distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and 10 tRNA genes which were encoded on the L-strand.
